    This is the tentative schedule, more tentative for the fights after the first round end.


    1- Taylor-Abraham( Germany)

    2- Kessler-Ward( US)

    3- Dirrell - Froch( UK)

    4- Abraham- Dirrell

    5- Kessler-Froch

    6- Ward-Taylor

    7- Dirrell- Ward

    8- Abraham- Froch

    9- Kessler-Taylor

    I will literally believe this when I see it but supposedly its set.

    And I'm surprised you're acting like you're really picking Dirrell.
    I have no idea who will win that fight to be honest. I just felt like being contrary. I've only seen Dirrell fight once and I wasn't overly impressed. However, I'm not that impressed with Froch either. That being said, I do think Froch will probably win if I'm being honest.

    The round-robin format is stupid IMO
    .
    I don't know, its stupid in a structural sense for how the semifinalists are chosen but, bright side, a lot of good fights.

    If it all comes off this way. I still can't believe this is actually happening and I wouldn't be shocked at all if there were modifications. Like Legion says this shit is going to be going on for a while as it stands. Couple years at least. The whole thing is bizarre but everybody seems to be sticking with the story that its set.

    It just seems like with that format, there are even more variables in play that could derail the whole project. I'd rather see an elimination-type event, with the winners and losers both fighting each other.
